Re: [PATCH 39/47] setup: limit get_git_work_tree()'s to explicit setup case only

2011/1/18 Jonathan Nieder [off-list ref]:

How about something like this patch?  It only concerns the
GIT_WORK_TREE variable and --work-tree command line option; the
semantics of core.worktree are unaffected.

Perhaps only activate your code if $GIT_WORK_TREE is absolute path?
Things may go wild if $GIT_WORK_TREE is relative. We can die() if
GIT_WORK_TREE is set but not used. Annoying, but better than leave the
errors unseen.

(Sorry, no real patch yet.  Updating the test to reflect the change is
a pain in the neck.)

Yeah, I count on it to (over-)catch every mistakes in setup code :D
